FL Studio(I can use shyt like abelton and reason but :pacspit: at the haters im comfortable with FL), a midi Keyboard and an MPD I never use.

When I actually do sample, I never use slicex, i just load it in edison, find the part I wanna sample and drag it to the playlist :yeshrug: its simpler

So you use sample loops, you don't slice it up

I do, I slice it multiple times like that, if I sample and intend to have different parts or whatever, it usually ends up with like 10 different sound clips in the playlist, I know there's probably a better way to do it but I learned this way and i'm pretty set in my ways

I play bass guitar and electric... so sometimes I have beats in my head that I would like to create...

i love hip hop and if I knew how to make beats, I'd throw my own little style to them...
I always wondered if an MPC is all you need, I checked out the videos some of you posted and I guess I need some software...

I'll probably check out Fruity Loops, slicex and Edison... and just mess around when I have free time..

I'm still that nikka on the bass guitar though :win:
